Your Property Street address is made up of four individual parts; your unique number (assigned by the council), your street name (which is generally a paved public thoroughfare – ie. where your property has access from), a Locality/Suburb Name (CGG has 56 individual localities/suburbs) and a Postcode (assigned by Australia Post). Please refer to the attached list which states the correct locality/suburb names and their corresponding Postcodes.

Urban Addressing
The rules are relatively simple – from a start point, streets are numbered with even numbers on the right-hand side of the street and odd numbers on the left-hand side of the street. Generally property street addressing runs north to south and east to west. Unit numbers or suffixes like A & B, allow for further differentiation in smaller subdivisions or for flats and townhouses.
If you are building units or subdividing, it is important that you contact the 91ÊÓƵAPP¹ÙÍø for allocation of addresses for the new properties (please supply a site plan, showing the number of units and their accesses). Council can assist you by ensuring that Australia Post, Emergency Services and utility companies also have a record of any new addresses.
For more information, please refer to the City’s information sheet regarding Urban Addressing.
Rural Addressing
Rural Street numbering has been implemented within the 91ÊÓƵAPP¹ÙÍø in accordance with a national model. The objective is to provide a uniform address to every rural and semi-rural property to make it easy to find a property, particularly in the event of an emergency.
The Rural Street Address is based on a distance to the entrance of your property from the start of the road, with even numbers of the right-hand side and odd numbers on the left-hand side. For example, the number 327 refers to a property on the left-hand side of a road, 3.27km from the roads beginning and the number 1026 is 10.26km from the beginning of the road and on the right-hand side.
